one of them has obama -- one of them has romney up by one point. the rest are a very close race within the margin of error, one point, three points, four points, four points, one for five points. a poll came out that shows the president is up nine points. here's how they got there. they have nine percentage point more democrat turnout than republican. it's a fantasy. in the 2008 obama landslide it was advantage for the democrats of just three points. republicans won florida in 2004, republicans turned out by four percentage points more. you just can't have those kind of swings, the numbers aren't reliable. >> cornell, what do you make -- >> i think what really is going on, i don't disagree with what john said about what's driving it but i think you're within the margin of error in almost every one of those battleground states. >> cornell, what about the florida numbers? >> i do understand what republicans are trying to do. i mean, they do have to sort of make this argument against the media that the media's biased in a way favoring democrats, regar

the romney people are actually saying their internals show it's a much closer race. what do you think? >> i imagine it is closer. i think it's closer somewhat going to tighten somewhat. but if it's ten points, that's a lot to make up in such a short time. and critical thing, joe, of course is that mitt romney at the moment has negative momentum. he's going backwards. it's not that obama's moving up so much as that mitt romney is moving backwards. as somebody said to me after that 47% republican strategist after that 47% remark it's bad enough when you don't like the candidate who's running for president. it's even worse when you learn that the candidate doesn't like you. >> right. i think the other thing that's kind of interesting is when you look at some of this polling is suggests that people in ohio are a little bit more optimistic about the economy than they were just a few weeks ago. the flip side of that is speaking with newt gingrich just a little while ago, he said mitt romney's got a problem, that his message is muddled. which one do you think it is? or how
